She worked as a medical administrator at the VAMC in Hampton. In recent years, she worked as a wildlife animal transporter for Sacred Friends, a wildlife rehabilitation organization. She loved helping animals in distress. What made her most happy was having gatherings with family and friends, horseback riding, visiting and spending time with her grandchildren, painting and helping all God’s creatures no matter how small. Her heart was huge and her love of family was immeasurable.
